What type of asexual reproduction involves a small version of the parent growing and detaching?
Budding
What is an example of an animal that reproduces by budding?
hydra
An organism that has 2 different alleles for a trait.
Heterozygous or hybrid
An organism that has a dominant and recessive allele for a trait.
Heterozygous or hybrid
How many parents are required for asexual reproduction?
ONE
Why can large populations from asexual reproduction be a disadvantage?
Creates food scarcity and competition
What type of asexual reproduction occurs when an organism splits into two identical cells?
Fission or binary fission
How do environmental factors affect asexual reproduction?
They create variation
An organism that has 2 identical alleles for a trait.
Homozygous or purebred
How do offspring compare genetically to their parent in asexual reproduction?
They are genetically identical
How do plants reproduce through vegetative reproduction?
They grow new plants, using runners, bulbs, tubers, or plantlets.
Which method of asexual reproduction allows plants to spread rapidly through underground stems?
Rhizomes or runners (Vegetative Propogation)
What is an advantage of sexual reproduction?
Diversity or variation of traits
2 heterozygous brown-eyed people are crossed. What are the possible genotypes and phenotypes of their offspring? Use B/b for alleles. (Brown eyes are dominant and Blue eyes are recessive)
Genotypes: 1 BB, 1 bb, 2 Bb Phenotypes: 3 brown eye, 1 blue eye
